I think this week, which is the busiest from the beginning of the semester.
In order to prepare the exhibition of FLLD, in this week, I start to practice dances and make posters. To me, two tasks are not my strong point; therefore, I feel tired. Especially learning dance, when I could not remember the dance steps and dance smoothly, I would feel disappointed. In addition, I want to say sorry to Ball who teaches us dance. Because, we cannot prepare well, causing her pressure.Therefore, I will try to do my best to prepare the exhibition of FLLD. .

Journal (3//15~3/20)
In this week, I saw a documentary which about birds called “The winds of the nature” in the general education course. The documentary mainly observed and recorded a variety of birds’ migration. The birds fly through the high mountains and great rivers even the scorching deserts. In this migration journey with difficulties and dander, the birds have to fly through thousands of miles. Why they are willing to put in much hard work but get very little results to experience the journey? The only one purpose is to “survival.”
The birds are the same as human beings, not only the birds; the whole world’s creatures are similar to us. In order to survival, the creatures have to hard work. Like as the migratory birds, they fly through the far distance to find the habitat. As human beings we also work hard to live. However, there is having many reports about the suicide, when people turn on the TV or open up the newspapers. The most of suicides all think that they do not have money; they could not live any more. Finally, they choose to end up their lives, instead of keeping their heads above water. As the saying goes “Heaven will always leave a door open.” The birds are so hard to live, human beings, however; look down on themselves lives. After seeing the documentary, I think human beings can learn the spirit of the birds. When we encounter difficulties and think we cannot hold on; we can think that even the birds are so hard to live. We will have more power to go on.
In this Saturday, my friends and I went shrimping. Because it was my first time to go shrimping, I felt excited and expected. As soon as arriving, we started shrimping. But, I think it was difficult to me. Owing to during the two hour of shrimping, I did not get any shrimps. I felt so depressed; my friends all got several ones. Finally, we shared shrimps together. But fortunately, other guests saw our shrimps were too less, they decided to share their shrimps to us. Although in the beginning I did not fish any shrimps, I felt glad in the end. Because I went out with my good friends, having the shrimps feast.

Journal (3/8~3/14)
The saying goes “Well begun is half done.” , I think the proverb applying to me in the new semester. Because the first day of March is my birthday, in that day, many of my best friends held a birthday celebration to me. They prepared cakes, cards, presents and the “shaving cream” which my friends used it to play a practical joke on me. But I really appreciated from the bottom of my heart to my friends. Due to my friends’ discreetness, the birthday celebration was the most terrific I have ever experienced than before. For this reason, I used the proverb “Well begun is half done.” to describe my new semester.
In addition, in this new semester, I created an expectation to myself. I hope that I can be more perseverance, in this way; I can be able to achieve the goals setting by myself. The goals include reading English news, learning five to ten new vocabularies, and listening the English news report every day. However, according to past experience, I always did work every day at the beginning. But with the time went, I was more and more lazy, always thinking the reading or the listening could put till tomorrow. It became a vicious circle, what makes matters worse; sometimes I would indulge in the PPS or MSN, and so on. Eventually, I would totally ignore the goals setting at the beginning. I think it is like the proverb “Brief period of enthusiasm.” Therefore, I want to get out of the bad habit, being more perseverance and responsible person. In order to achieve the goals, I think the most effective way is that go to the library. In that place, I will not be attracted by other things; I can do everything done in the schedule. In this way, I can not only improve my English level but also get rid of the bad habit.

Task 11
1. After going through many weekly writing, I think I like this writing pattern. Because the way of writing in English is fresh to me. And every week’s topic is interesting, too. But, I think there are some questions are too much alike such as “week ten’s self evaluation and peer review” and “week thirteen’s reflection.”
2. The two-way online discussion is a good way. Because when one posted his/her article, the other could response to him/her at once. It works much efficient. Nevertheless, the mode of two-way online discussion’s disadvantage is that the writer just can receive one other thought. If writers want to know more various aspects in the same question, they have to link other writers’ blogs. Sometimes, writers will think it was inconvenient, and they are also not willing to read the articles which not respond to them. So, if having a group blog to exchange ideas, writers can receive more ideas at the same time. But, when using this pattern, I think that writers who in same group blog should post their articles in the same time. Because, if the first writer delays posting his/her article; the second one, the third one will delay too. In doing so, the task will put off. In the sum, I would like choose the same way of writing on blog.
3. To be honest, we are smooth during our discussion on blog. Except for the beginning, my blog’s setting got some problem causing my keypal could not respond me smoothly. But latter, I fixed setting, it was going smoothly.
4. I like this project website. Apart from design well, every task’s background has abundant changes. In brief, this website is well-down.
5. I think I gained three things in this blog activity. First, the writing skill, after writing so many articles, I learn how to make my article more coherence and smooth and avoid to have unnecessary errors. The second is critical thinking, some questions tend to guide writers to make a comment such as“Britney Spears”and “The strawberry generation.” The last is that sharpen the speed of English typing.

Task 9
1. Among six different classroom activities, I like watching and reading activities. Because, when I learn from watching, the images would make a deep impression on me. In this way, when I read or review the parts, the images will spring up at once, helping me much swifter and easier to recall the parts. What is more, when watching some movies, I often can get some new perspectives and enlightenment from the movies. Another classroom activities, reading, is also motivated me. However, the “reading” I mentioning, is meaning reading extracurricular readings rather than text books. The reasons why I chose reading are the same as watching. Not only can get new viewpoints and inspiration, but also broaden my horizons. And, I like the least is discussion. Because sometimes members in the same group are disliking or not good at express their thought. In doing so, the discussion often come to nothing.
2. Recently, many classes showed films, maybe they were not very fun, but to me, I enjoy watching films very much. Take an example, last week the sign language course showed a film about deaf people. After seeing the movie, I realized the plight of deaf people such as being unable to find a job even if having talent and being looked down on. I think we should appreciate we have sound bodies; in the meanwhile, we also need to put ourselves in deaf people’s shoes. Instead of looking down the deaf.
3. When I encounter some kind of difficult knowledge, I will try to find out answers by myself. But, if I cannot find out or find some uncertain answers, I will discuss with my classmates.
4.I think I am prone to be static and conservative type. Just like I mentioned above.

2. I think I always finish my tasks on schedule, and my keypal will response me at once. We would bring up our thought respectively about the questions.

3. I think my keypal is perfect for his writing skill; on the contrary, I think I need to pay more attention to some minor errors and avoid translating the Chinese sentences into English directly.
